Midsumma Cycling Tour to Mount Waverley

Enjoy a scenic urban ride from Federation Square to Mount Waverley for lunch, and back if you wish. This is a Midsumma Festival event.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Moderate point-to-point cycling if returning by train from Mount Waverley, or Medium cycling circuit if cycling back after lunch. There are no significant hills and we'll be riding almost entirely on cycling paths, some sealed, some gravel.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
This relatively easy ride will take us from Federation Square along the Yarra, Gardiners Creek and Scotchmans Creek Trails to beautiful Valley Reserve for a BYO picnic lunch in Mt Waverley. There are also BBQs on-site if you'd like to use those. The leader will bring BBQ tools, oil, sauce, sanitiser wipes and hand sanitiser, but to keep things COVID-Safe, you'll need to BYO everything else. Total distance to lunch is approximately 23 km. 

After lunch you can return by train from Mt Waverley Station, or retrace your steps to return towards Federation Square (or return to your home via one of the many trails that intersect with our route).

BOOKING: By Thursday 29th April. To register, click on Get Tickets. Tickets are also available from midsumma.org.au.
